From Intersectionality to Conscious Buying: Meet French Caribbean Blogger & Jeweller, Adeline Rapon who always keeps it fashionably real

Posted by Kadara in THE AYA TALKS SERIES

Plenty of us would find it hard to meet someone whom you could both describe as rebellious and soft-spoken until you meet (even over the phone), the fascinating Adeline Rapon. Parisian jeweller by trade, photographer and influencer by taste, Adeline sits atop seemingly contrasting worlds that she has been able to give meaning and voice…Read more »

Portrait of a Different Kind: Meet Makhúkhú Molepo, South African Architect and Photographer

Posted by Kadara in Encounters

There is something raw, but also fragile in the eyes of Makhúkhú Molepo. Khú, as he also likes to be called, first told me that he understands photography through architecture and that his fascination with the latter comes from his intent studying of light when captured in the brevity of the moment.

Why I prefer being a mother… (than a lover)

Posted by Kadara in Uncategorized

Finally… I told myself… Finally… I was able not only to “capture” time but to actually schedule an appointment at the beauty institute (and spa) for what should be (or rather used to be) my monthly bikini wax routine. I am not afraid to say that for the past sixteen months, this act of self-care…Read more »

Akwaba. A Warm Welcome to Kadara. This. Is. Fate

Posted by Kadara in Uncategorized

I can hardly recall the number of times that my brother – an amazingly talented writer and playwright – has told me to write. I can also hardly recall the number of times that I began then stopped diary writing. I am not old but I am not young… and yet I am totally new…Read more »
